Yellowstone Grand Tetons

We're in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Yellowstone,

Grand Tetons,

Custer State park and

other POI's on the way.

If we leave from New Hampshire in our motorhome it will likely be a 6 to 7 thousand mile trip

since it's almost 6k just out and back without side trips etc.

What we are really trying to decide is if we should take our motorhome,

drive or

fly and would like the opinions of those who have made the trip and what they think in hindsight of the way they chose to get there and if they would do it different next time.

Seems like taking the motorhome would be the most expensive option since

I figure 6000 miles would cost $3000.00 in fuel alone.

We have enough airline points to fly for free.

We are retired so we have the time for any of the options.

Thinking if we motorhome it we'll be gone 2 months.

Plan is to leave May of 2019

but understand that reservations will need to be made soon.

Lots of Questions here, but the answer is - take the MotorHome - shoot for 4-6 months- enjoy yourself - see more and might even move out of Vermont.

I mean this is a simple question - you Have it so Use IT.

We fly out to Colorado to get a Grand Kid Fix 5-8 times a year - but nothing beats the trips in the MotorHome.

You do know - You can Boondock - Your can Use Wal*Mart - you can drive just short distances and you can enjoy a Whole Lot More.

It is a little drive to get to the West but that's just a few of the days.

So the Real Question should be - What Else Can I see when I drive out WEST?

We'll follow and add to the discussion later - But GO in the MotorHome - go longer and see MORE.

Best of Luck,
